Feat: Battle Leader

[Emiricol]

From AEG's Empire book (and Open content):

Battle Leader [General]
In combat you are an inspiring, motivating presence. Your cohort and followers fight with greater spirit and skill. So long as you survive, they fight hard despite the odds they face.
Prerequisite: Leadership
Benefit: During combat, your cohort and followers acquired through the Leadership Feat gain a +1 morale bonus to attacks and damage and a +2 morale bonus to Will saves so long as you are present. This ability does not function if you are unconscious or dead, or if you are helpless or under the effects of a fear spell or spell-like effect.

Sounds good. Maybe you can include a way it might not work... such as a bard's countersong, or while under a fear effect, etc.

I would say just add something like the Paladin's Aura of Courage: This ability functions while the paladin is conscious, but not if the paladin is unconscious or dead.

Also, you could add (as some abilities do) that it also doesn't work if the leader is helpless or under the effects of a fear spell.
